MODULAR APPROACH

A module is a self-contained educational unit that performs a specific task; which a single topic or a small section of a broad topic is studied within a period of time.






A unit can cover just one class or more. When designing a module, there are three things to address:






Be clear about the module purposes and aspirations for student participants and communicate these to students.




Make sure your module is constructively aligned (the learner actively constructs their own understanding and all teaching and assessment is aligned with the intended outcomes).

Considering the course in context (department, institution, sector).
